According to our WiFi speaker expert
With the Sony LSPX-S2 you enjoy clear sound and atmospheric lighting. This WiFi speaker has a built-in lamp. The lamp flickers in candlelight mode just like a real candle. In addition, the lamp also has 32 brightness levels. You can adjust the intensity of the lamp to your liking via the buttons on the device. The plastic tube in the form of a cylinder provides a clear, room-filling sound. Connect a smartphone to the speaker via WiFi or Bluetooth and stream music from streaming services or your own playlists. Thanks to the built-in battery with an 8-hour battery life, you can also use the speaker in the garden or outdoors.

When unpacking the speaker, I immediately noticed that it is not actually made of glass, but of (good quality) plastic. Still a disappointment since you expect a glass speaker. In addition, the function of the 'glass' escapes me, since the speaker is housed underneath.
First impression The device does weigh a bit, which I personally find a plus. Beautiful materials of good quality have been used.
Create link Making a connection is smooth and just as you would expect from a decent bluetooth device.
Sound It produces a beautiful sound, which comes into its own especially with classical music (eg piano). Clean sound, in which there is a decent bass present. The sound is full and fills the room well (for such a small speaker).
Lamp The thought behind the lighting escapes me a bit, during the day you can see that this lamp shines, but it has no added value. In the evening it looks cozy, but the function eludes me.

I've been able to use the Sony LSPX-S2 Glass Speaker for several weeks now. In terms of design, I think it is a beautiful device. Due to the transparent lamp, the device is not clearly present and I even think it is nice to put the device on the table or on my dresser, for example. It feels solid on the pedestal is relatively heavy. This is nice, because the product cannot simply fall over.
It is a portable speaker, of which you can charge the battery and then place it wirelessly. Due to the weight and the shape, it is not really a speaker that you take outside to listen to music during a picnic. I think it's more of an indoor speaker, which you can easily put on the table or take with you to the garden.
The fully charged battery lasts about 8 hours. That's fine. When it is almost empty, a red light will flash. You then have enough time to connect it to the mains, because the speaker does not immediately fail.
The supplied user manual is well-arranged and described in clear language. This indicates how you can connect the product via Bluetooth or WiFi. Pairing via bluetooth was very easy. I was unable to connect to Wi-fi via the manual. I ended up downloading the companion app Sony Music Center and trying to pair this way and it worked.
I like the sound quality. You can enjoy 360-degree sound through the glass tube. I think the sound is pretty clear. But this speaker is not so suitable for music with a good bass. It's not that the sound with songs with a big bass is not to hear, that's for sure, but it doesn't sound that full. And I think that's the biggest downside to this speaker. It is really a very expensive thing and if it actually comes into its own with some quieter music, I think that is a bit limited. Sony has put together a playlist on Spotify, which contains songs that come into its own for this speaker. That's definitely fun to try.
The lamp gives a nice and cozy light. You can set it as a candle light and then the lamp will flicker occasionally like a candle. I find it very attractive. In addition, the lamp can also provide normal light in all kinds of positions (adjustable at the bottom of the base). This gives good light, but not so much that you can really use it as a lamp. It's still mood lighting.
All in all, my conclusion is that it is a very nice gadget. It is cozy on the table when you are having a nice meal or chatting with friends. This is mainly because the speaker is a lamp and it gives an atmospheric light. The sound from the speaker is nice and clear, but falls short if you want to be able to play all kinds of music. The biggest drawback I think is the price. For this price I think you can expect more in terms of sound and bass. In my opinion, the high price is mainly due to the design. If you like that, then this speaker is really an asset to your interior, but if you value sound more, then I don't think this is the most correct speaker. Again the sound is beautiful, but other brands have an even fuller and more intense sound. For this price I would therefore not recommend this speaker.

Is it a light? A candle? A mosquito catcher? It is a speaker and a lamp in a pretty nice design!
The Sony LSPX-S2 Glass Sound Speaker is a very special and beautifully designed product. When it comes to originality, Sony has managed to put something unique in the market. The lamp still works quite nicely and is dimmable. The whole feels solid, the foot is heavy and there is a rubber on the bottom that ensures that it does not just slide away or fall over.
Then test the sound; With the Hi-Res Audio logo on the packaging, Sony sets expectations and sets the bar high. This product can only partly live up to that: the sound is indeed pure, even flawless. However, there is (quite) missing some range in the low and also in the mids. Which also makes sense when you consider how relatively small this product is. There is also a built-in battery so that this speaker/lamp can also be used wirelessly. The battery life is sufficient to enjoy several hours of music. As for the 360 degree experience: this is unique in its kind and the sound is spread in all directions.
Then we go to the amount you can pay for this: with a suggested retail price of more than 600 euros, this is substantial, too hefty if you ask me. If you're looking for a 360-degree design speaker and take for granted that bass and mids are less important, then this may be worth it. The lamp is a nice feature but only for the atmosphere and maybe to "hide" that this is a speaker. It does not look out of place in any modern design interior.
In short: for those looking for a special product that should not look like a speaker in a design interior, this is a nice alternative. As background music, acoustic track or just vocals, this is a perfect product. For audio enthusiasts who like to listen to a wider music genre, it is better to purchase another product for this amount that gives a better music experience over the full range.
